5. Ups... A Good Opening Segment

Although the opening segment teased AJ vs. Cena before taking it away, it was still a good intro to the show. Everybody involved brought their A-game, from Styles as the proud new champion to Cena as the respectful rival.
Owens and Rusev seem the perfect unscrupulous heel alliance; hopefully their loss last night doesn't affect them too much, and they're able to enjoy a decent stretch as de facto partners. KO turns everything he touches into gold, while the Bulgarian is one of the most under-utilised workers on the entire main roster.
